So Timbaland Was On Suicide Watch?

Timbaland's family put the producer on suicide watch last night. We've got the deets on what led to all the drama when you read on...

*UPDATED*

According to TMZ, super producer Timbaland had about $2 mill worth of jewelry stole from him at his Malibu home, and he didn't take it so well. His family could not locate him around 8p ET yesterday, so they got the police department involved. And said there may have been a possible suicide attempt:

Timbaland was on the phone earlier in the day with his brother-in-law ... deeply upset about something. We're told one of the things that was eating at him was a theft at his Malibu residence a day before. Someone had stolen a crazy expensive Jacob & Co. watch -- valued at $2 million -- and Timbaland suspected it might have been someone he trusted.

Timbaland left his home yesterday and began driving. Family members couldn't locate him, became extremely worried and called the Sheriff's Department.

We're told the helicopter located the Escalade, ground crews pulled Timbaland over and began talking to him. At some point they put Timbaland in a patrol car and took him to his residence, where they continued speaking with him and family members.

Deputies called for paramedics to come and evaluate Timbaland. After the evaluation, paramedics determined Timbaland was not a threat to himself and left.

I really hope the fam just over reacted and Tim didn't try to kill himself over a piece of jewelry. No matter the worth. This was also the night before the 9 year anniversary of the death of one of his closest friend's, Aaliyah. Maybe that had something to do with his short disappearance as well...

UPDATE: Timbaland just told Ryan Seacrest on his show this morning that he simply took a drive to clear his head. Basically his family overreacted. So there you have it.

And here's the 911 call from his mother where she tells the police Timbaland was "tired of the stress" and wa sby a cliff and a canyon. The LA County police sent out a "possible suicide atempt" APB right afterwards.

His family overreacted thats all. He wanted to be alone and when you are in that state of mind you dont answer your phone, trust me I have been there. So yes when they couldnt get in touch with him they started to worry. Im glad he is ok.

UPDATE: Timbaland just called into Ryan Seacrest's radio show, and confirmed someone stole something from him and that he was upset about it ... but says there was definitely no suicide attempt.
Timbaland said he simply took a drive to clear his head, when someone got a little too worried about him and called the cops.

How is it tabloid when they simply reported the facts. His family DID call the police and shit. And they DID put out the apb and suicide attempt notice. Whether or not it all ended up being what they suspected has nothing to do with the facts.

Definition of Tabloid for DUMMIES: A tabloid is an industry term for a smaller newspaper format per spread; to a weekly or semi-weekly alternative newspaper that focuses on local-interest stories and entertainment, often distributed free of charge (often in a smaller, tabloid-sized newspaper format); or to a newspaper that tends ...sensationalist journalism
while this is definitely not a newspaper or a smaller print publication.. this is a media outlet (gossip albeit) that does not VERIFY information.. but simply POSTS what they've heard, read, or seen... so in essence... it's TABLOIDISH...
SMDH... rightouteous ASSES

I hope this is a false story.. at the risk of sounding insensitive.. that would just be stupid of him.. if you have 2mil to spend on a watching then you have 2mil to blow.. so lost, stolen or broken shouldn't phase you that hard.. additionally, if after 9 years you need to be put on suicide watch b/c of Aaliyah's death.. there should really be a concern.. again.. at the risk of sounding insensitive.. it makes NO DAMN SENSE

His upset is likely not about jewelry, but the fact that someone close to him that he trusted took it. That would get me quite upset too. But not suicidal. I think the family overreacted, unless there's other stuff going on to which we aren't privvy.

Why did family think he was suicidal becaue they couldn't reach him? I could understand him being upset that someone he trusted my have been a thief. 2 million is nothing to sneeze at. I don't see anywhere that he expressed or attempted suicide. Paramedics obviously didn't think so either that why he was not taken in for treatment. It is a shame that people take a story, slap their spin on it and run with it. Just because Fantasia used suicide to boost her sales doesn't mean everyone is jumping on that bandwagon. Bloggers and news reporters, please be more responsible and don't participated in spreading bullshyt without the facts

SINCE YOUR INVESTING YOUR $ ON JEWELRY,THESE ARE WHAT YOUR GONNA BE SEEING,TILL YOU HANG YOURSELF 2MILL WORTH OF JEWELS AND PEOPLE ARE STARVING,I WISH HE JUST MADE IT HAPPEN.WE WOULD HAVE BEEN SAYING RIP..LIKE WE ARE SAYING TO AALIYAH!

I can understand family wanting him to be safe, but I, too, hope that he was not willing to end his life over jewelry. Yes, it was expensive, but he could probably afford a lot more. Maybe it was just a combination of things -- can't see him wanting to kill himself solely over losing Aaliyah, since she has been gone for nine years.
